Cuban Sandwiches with Chef Frank

A good Cuban sandwich is a beautiful thing. A wonderful balance of meat, cheese, pickles and mustard between ultra crispy bread. My version is simple and delish.

I love how with all of your experience and training, and knowledge, you make the recipe a certain way because you're wife like's it that way! That's so sweet!

[bekamegre]

I love that head movement when Chef tastes food, it says everything.

[FlagCutie]

This is basically what I love about the culinary arts: Here I am, a Mexican, watching an Italian teach me how to make a Cuban sandwich!

[limpnoodle]

love the little story about you and your wife, the meaning behind why we love food is so valuable

Never thought I'd ever hear Chef Frank say "I don't need any extra salt"

[sickofseeingjustsomeguywit]

Let's get Chef Frank to 1 mill ASAP.

I feel validated. As the last few times I’ve made Cuban sandwiches, I roasted a pork shoulder and used a spiral ham as well.

Although I have a 12in and 10in cast iron. I used them as a press and to toast both sides at once….. note remember to wear good oven mitts when grabbing a hot cast iron skillet. 😅

frank is the coolest teacher to learn from.

"Try not to stab yourself."

*furiously takes notes*

[EricSanDiego]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH Frank figured out that he says "Absolutely Delicious" too often, that's hilarious. Still a good slogan for a T-Shirt, though. Also, don't change who you are or what you say, Frank. If we predict your words, it only means we've watched all of your videos.

[Willbot]

I hope my favorite deli is open tomorrow cuz now I'm craving a Cuban sandwich! And Chef Frank is spot on - those crispy cheese bits are just the best.

I love how you explain why you like the stuff that you like. Great content chef

[SavageGreywolf]

Chef Frank: "I don't know why people make memes about me butchering my own meat."
Also Chef Frank:

Love it! I like the way you can stick to an original recipe, and then make changes, know the sensitive parts (know where purple are gonna hate!), and explain why you change them. That's total control of what you are doing. And then you give us the chance to do it your way, the original way, or empower us to make personal changes.

Made these yesterday (with deli meats and pickled jalapeno instead of pickles) and they turned out so incredibly well! Probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Thanks Frank!

[bernhardlangers]

While I'd really like to see some more advanced/fancy stuff, I still watch every video you upload, just in case there is a goody I might otherwise miss ;).

Keep at it Frank, you fundamentally changed my approach to cooking.

[daphnepearce]

I haven't made this in forever, I forgot how much I love these! I like the small chopped dill pickles prefer yellow mustard. Thx chef!

[niklasniklas]

Hi Frank,
I haven't watched your videos in quite some time, but I really like the clear structure and cut (for instance when talking all ingredients through, one by one). Makes it really nice to watch, great improvement in comparison to the early videos from what I remember! 😊🙌

I'm gonna try making this, but with a carnitas recipe I found on here with a rib rub. I made the carnitas before, 250f for 5 hours in the oven. It was so tender and moist.

[jeremybrown]

Amazing. I just watched 'Chef' last night and this is their highlight food truck dish. What a coincidence.
